Ingredients

For the kraut:

1 head white cabbage, finely shredded
1 cup cider vinegar
3 cups water
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon whole fennel seeds

For the kielbasa:

2 quarts water
2 (12-ounce) bottles lager (recommended: Yuengling)
3 (1-pound) Polish-style sausage kielbasa, each cut into 4 pieces (recommended: Hillshire Farms)

For the peppers:

1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 red pepper, seeded, cored, and sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips
1 green pepper, seeded, cored, and sliced lengthwise into 1/2-inch strips
Salt

Directions

Kraut:

Combine all ingredients in a Dutch oven. Bring to a simmer, over medium-low heat, cover, and cook for 1 hour, stirring a couple times.

Kielbasa:

Combine water and beer in a large pot. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Slip in sausages and cook 15 to 20 minutes.

Peppers:

Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. When oil is hot, add pepper slices, sprinkle generously with salt, and saute until wilted and lightly colored, about 8 minutes, stirring often.

Serve kielbasas with the kraut and peppers.

great low carb meal
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This is a great meal. Experimenting with food when my wife is out of town is fun, I get in less trouble that way! This... looked like something we would enjoy so I gave it a try. Found some Linguica when I was rummaging aroud in the fridge getting ready to cook this so I tossed one of them in the beer/water along with the Kielbassa. I was enjoying this meal and then tried the Linguica. The Linguica complimented the Kraut much better than the Kielbassa! When I make this for her I will use Linguica.Read more

Love to hate it
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I really like smoked sausage, especially Hillshire Farms lowfat kielbasa. It offers a great choice from high-fat, home-made... verieties commmonly found around Philadelphia, PA. What I really dislike is when folks knock something here they have never made. Giving a single star really skews the rating. I say, let your tongue be the judge and don't be prejudice!Read more

Quick, easy, and good
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I never knew that kraut was so easy to make. I tried it first just like the recipe with the Kielbasa, next I made it with... Bratwurst and this was the bomb. The beer just really does something to the taste. Excellent!! Aggie, Hampton, Va.Read more

"Philly-Style" Kielbasa
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

I'm as Polish American as one can get and born, raised and live in Philly. I've NEVER heard of "Philly-style" Kielbasa ever... before. So that got me curious to look at the recipe. It's not even close to any common recipes Polish or non-Polish people in Philly would make. The worst part is that it suggests using Hillshire Farms Kielbasa. The only thing I have to say about that is, that's really quite funny as that stuff isn't even good enough to give to a dog. It's nothing but fat and grease.Read more

really good
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this recipe on a whim and it was awesome. The fennel adds a nice aroma and a bit of sweetness. The kraut needs to... cook for an hour, but it was ridiculously easy to throw together. I was able to do other things while it simmered. I'd definitely make it again.Read more
